   1. "My entry into the palace was an accident." "Look, it's dawn." I am seventy years old this year, and fifty-six years have passed since I entered the palace. After three days of heartbeat, the flames in my heart have long been burnt to ashes. I have to be a substitute for a lifetime, so I can only thank you three times from the emperor... You buried your bones in the mud under the spring, and I left my head full of snow in the world. Willow color and smoke, light wind and warm sun. Although the language of this book is plain, it has a touch of sadness. After reading it, I felt empty in my heart and felt that everyone in it should not be trapped in that deep palace. "Am I Jiao Jiao'er or Xiao Liu'er?" You are Xiao Liu'er, not anyone's substitute. 2. "She regretted that she was not brave once, so she lost him" "Ah Huai, can you set off fireworks for me once more" "Think about it, you can watch it as many times as you want" "If we indulge each other, you and I are both ridiculous" "I want a bunch of fireworks set off for me" "I really felt that I could love you for a long, long time, more than eight years" "Xiang Yu, can you leave your next life to me?" "It wasn't him, it was me who broke your promise" "You broke your promise once "I broke my promise once and we're even." "You Broke Your Promise" is as sweet as it is at the beginning, but it is so sad at the end. When she was 17 years old, family changes occurred and her parents divorced, making the heroine sensitive and no longer trusting in relationships. As the male protagonist's grades declined, she didn't want to delay him, so she decisively broke up with her. Even if the male protagonist repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, she was such a proud person, lowering her head and begging the girl who bullied him to let him go. She still would never look back, leaving her regretful love at this ridiculous age of 17. After that, she played all the secret love scenes, but she broke her promise again and again. In 19 years, the male protagonist had a flash marriage and married a girl who loved him. 3. "We will always be friends, and we will always protect you. A gentleman's words are hard to follow." Zhao Wan'er, seemingly ignorant, actually knows everything. She understands the helplessness of her eldest sister, the danger of her eldest brother, the care of the Queen Mother, and her beloved Zhang Jingxing. She loves her so much that she can pretend not to love her. She loves her so much that even after coming out of the palace where she has been trapped for so many years, she is willing to go back in just to accompany the person she loves. Does Zhang Jingxing love her? He does, but he loves her a little less than the rights of the emperor. Just a little bit, the honey and poison of Zhao Wan'er's life 4. "Standing on the edge of the rooftop, looking over from left to right." "Looking up at the sky again, I only saw the falling snowflakes." "She smiled, with some regret in her smile." "I thought I could see the sun again, which is a pity." "She pressed her hand on the railing, turned over, and stood on the narrow edge outside the railing." "Until this moment, Shen Nian seems to have overlapped with Lu Lingrui, who committed suicide five years ago." "At this moment, I don't feel scared, but more relieved." "She and Lu Lingchuan have nothing to say." "Just like the two words she wrote on the letter." "No regrets." "I am Shen Nian who never forgets it, I am Shen Nian who mourns her..." He was newly married and she slept in the sea. The end of the story is that she said that she no longer likes Sunflower. Love is no longer a lingering thought, but a mourning thought. He was newly married, she committed suicide, and after her death, he also grew old overnight. 5. "There are trees in the south, don't stop thinking." "When I wrote this sentence, what I was thinking about most was you. You said my name and had the best wishes. You don't know. My lightest thoughts are just to look up to heaven with you, where you are, which is heaven. Can you hear the song I sing for you?" Carrying my bags, the lights dimmed, like falling stars. That was my regretful sadness. "I think we will definitely meet that time in the next life, and I will definitely wait for you. At that time, if you don't come, I won't be old. At that time, you must not abandon me again." I read this novel when I was in junior high school. I was really upset. Qu Weiran and Xia Tong really made me unhappy. When I was reading the novel, I never cried in the early stages. But in the end, Xia Tong died suddenly. It was really uncomfortable and I cried to death. At the end of the story, Qu Weiran left, Yawang could finally go to another world to accompany Xia Mu, and Tang Xiaotian died alone, desperately trying to forget him. Sometimes once you miss it, it will last a lifetime, but if you meet again, there will be an afterlife. Highly recommended for sisters who like to be upset to watch [almost crying]
